i agree about the shockmounts - mine came with the supermounts and an aluminum case.
i use the shure vertical mount bar modded for extension. i have run the mics on the vert bar in botched non-coincident formations (where the mics are slightly different heights, and that does OK. I am going to make a t-bar with a baffle to run close-range split omnis.
i use a PS-2 to power my TLs. The battery life (if you use a 9-volt) is not all that great, expect to change it every couple of hours. i change mine every set to be safe. i now have a 9.6 volt external battery to power it, and it lasts for a long, long time.
so far, i have used the mics 20 times in the past 42 days. I have been happy with every single recording.
+t for coming to team ADK.
